Let me face the facts.I AM NO SUPERWOMAN.
I need a break...
Its a struggle to decide what is more important than the other.
Despite having a weekend company trip break in Bintan, I'm still exhausted.
Yes... I need to prioritise and I probably can be that superwoman..but its hard to prioritise the clutter thats in my head... ERGH...
Decisions..decisions...decisions....

Fianlly, we took the bus back to the ferry terminal..What a picnic adventure it was... the weather sure wasn't on our side
Posted by J|nG at 5:59 AM

As it got darker, and as the beach emptied of people, we proceeded to Sakae Sushi to have our chawamushi... Bern trying to blend in with a Pink plate. haha

After the rain...
Posted by J|nG at 5:50 AM
|
The rain was kind and did allow us to resume our picnic..and yes.. i got back to serving pasta.. haha...
Posted by J|nG at 5:49 AM
|
However, minutes later, we were scrambling to pack everything and running for shelter. We were drenched when we reached the bus stop at the Underwater World
Posted by J|nG at 5:48 AM

Laid out the food and I started serving the pasta, Rowe opened her box of sandwiches and Daniel brought nuggets and shriveled sausages.
Posted by J|nG at 5:47 AM
|
We found our spot to setup our picnic...
Posted by J|nG at 5:46 AM
|
A bunch of friends and I recently decided to do something different. Rowe had suggested a picnic..and we finally embarked on the idea to have a picnic in Sentosa. Despite the sky looking a little threatening and rain earlier that morning, Sentosa was still pretty crowded. Instead of parking at Siloso Beach, we parked at the Ferry Terminal.

Do drop me messages when you pop by the blog... perhaps it might motivate me to continue blogging.. hehe...

We were really reluctant to leave... it didn't feel like we had enough of BKK. After reaching Changi Airport, we faced the expensive food court food again for dinner..and discussed when we should next head back to Bangkok. (pst: We had already booked tickets to return there over New Years..thats how much we enjoyed the trip!)

That night after Suan Lum, we were dead-tired from all the walking in the past 2 days. We showered and headed out for foot reflex in the street by the hotel. It was nearly 2am by the time we were done and instead of supper, we decided to call it a night. The next morning, we had fish ball noodles for breakfast again and then headed to MBK to just comb the shops for a final time. We had our last BKK meal at Siam Paragon... a table full of food..it looked like we weren't gonna be eating for the next few meals. We rushed back to the hotel, and then headed reluctantly went to the airport.

After dinner, we headed to Suan Lum to walk the night market.. I bought more earrings..Nick bought snacks and Bern bought.... (take a ride in my car, and you may spot it..though u'd least expect it) haha.

That afternoon, we headed back to the shopping district.... walked more shopping centres including Central World. Though lots of shops were not open yet, we found Bern's reason to come back to BKK in the next few months...an Arsenal shop. That evening, we had steamboat for dinner at MK... super value-for-money meal.

and I bought most of what i wanted to buy
Posted by J|nG at 6:37 AM
|
It was as crowded as ever...
Posted by J|nG at 6:37 AM
|
The next morning, we hopped on the skytrain again..and went to JJ market..also known as chatuchat market.
Posted by J|nG at 6:35 AM
|
After that, we caught a midnight movie at the new cinema at Siam Square (I think thats the shopping centre). We were all pretty tired, and think the cinema seats being so comfy didn't make it any better, a each dosed off during Miami Vice for a couple of minutes. haha

Posted by J|nG at 6:29 AM
|
That afternoon, we headed to the shopping centres, had lunch at MBK. We prowled the streets for good buys..I bought a pair of Zara pants for only S$30, and Bern bought Mambo shirts and quicksilver slippers for a pretty good deal too. While going in and out of the shopping centres, we spotted a japanese restaurant... Oishi Grand..which had Japanese Buffet

The next morning, we were picking Nick up from the Airport.Bern brought me to La Prao... its a train ride and a taxi ride away from the hotel. There, we had fish ball noodles for breakfast.

Bern and I left a day before Nick. On the first day, after arriving and checking into Hotel Asia Bangkok, we headed to Bern's office in BKK. After that, we went back to the hotel to change and waited to be picked up for a dinner cruise along the Chaopraya River, a birthday treat from Bern's manager.
Posted by J|nG at 6:05 AM

A highlight of the past few months was Bern's birthday trip to BKK with him and Nick

Doesn't it look like the durian was delicious? haha.. its a rare sight to find 4 decently dressed ladies..sitting along the roadside, eating durians..not that graceful is it? haha
Posted by J|nG at 11:47 PM
|
Daffy was trying to take a photo of me with the durians but I thought she was taking something behind me
Posted by J|nG at 11:47 PM
|
So Amanda and I try our luck at choosing these SULTAN durians..its the durians that are in season now.
Posted by J|nG at 11:46 PM
|
After dinner, thanks to Amanda's directions to keong siak street that went " At the corner, theres a durian store", I had a craving for durians. Without objections, and in fact with enthusiasm, we headed to Geylang for a durian escapade. Somehow or other, I managed to find my way there, and Amanda managed to identify the store her grandma patronises.

I had a belated birthday celebrations with Amanda, Huiyi an Daffy at Ember, the restaurant at Hotel 1929, which is located at Keong Siak St. Its a nice, small cosy hotel with food that taste pretty good, but do make reservations in advance as apparently they only have one seating per night and it was in fact full house when we were that that night.

I'm BACK to blogging..haha.. I wonder for how long... After not blogging for so long, I have a problem: I forgot my username and password so the only way i can log in is through picasa which has it saved.Its nice to see that pple are still coming by my blog, dropping me an occasional suprise msg. Maybe thats whats edging me to write something.
Anyway, since my last posts, think i have loads of photos to post and as much as i can recall... maybe some events to write about...but thats if i can remember what happened.
Gonna mass post some photos..whatever i have with me now..and more when i get home then i'll fill in the blanks with anecdotes of whats been happening.
